Iron Bess Posted November 20, 2007 Author Posted November 20, 2007 DAMN!!!!!!!!! This original skin ruptured on the drum! It will have to be replaced.... (insert small, pitiful sob here) They promised to find another spotter but I doubt they will find one like this. (Deep painful sigh..) Oh well, better for it to have the damage when it was there and THEY were testing it then for it to get all the way over here and THEN crash and burn. Still.... I did love that one. Well.... pictures when I get the new ones mates (sniff, sniff...) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Iron Bess Posted November 21, 2007 Author Posted November 21, 2007 Okay, pictures of the NEW skin as the repairs are in progress. Truely, I liked the original one better but it's about the sound anyway. They are throwing in a new case for the my *being so nice about it* (That is really nice of them) What you think of this one? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Rumba Rue Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I have never seen a drum like that with the back cut away for holding or whatever. Nice drum.
Iron Bess Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 I have never seen a drum like that with the back cut away for holding or whatever.Nice drum. They are not the norm but are becoming more typical…. The cut outs I mean, More comfortable to hold and the deeper drum can make more tones as you adjust while you play. Yeah... I am right happy with it. ( And no one see's the creature on the drum head?? Look close....) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 By golly you're right - depending on how you look at it, it can be two different creatures. Nice drum!

Iron Bess Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 Something akin to Davey Jones or am I just being Blond? You're being Blond..... Look at the center and it's facing downward.... Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Red-Handed Jill Posted November 28, 2007 Posted November 28, 2007 That is beautiful - definitely send me his email!
Iron Bess Posted December 4, 2007 Author Posted December 4, 2007 Whoo Hoo!! Confirmed this morning.... Drum is in the mails! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Iron Bess Posted December 12, 2007 Author Posted December 12, 2007 Whoo Hoo! The drum arrived yesteday and what a beauty. The rim artwork will have to wait until after the first of the year but who cares? 'Twill take a bit of time to break it in, get used to it's weight and tonal qualities... and... it seems to be calling itself *Inis* Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! : ) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Inis as in one of the Aran islands or the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service? But seriously, I'd be doing a happy dance too! A jig, mayhaps...
Iron Bess Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Jill lass... Since you're duties with TOT7S have expanded... will you be bringing yer drum to Ojai? Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 That's the plan! And my duties haven't expanded - I've always built furniture and props, did the swordfighting and helped Claire run events (or ran them myself); it's just been made official. What's nice is that other folks are being invited to do some of the stuff that a few of us have been doing so far. Give 'em a chance to flex some creative muscle!
Iron Bess Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Great!!! I can feel the earth shake already.. (chuckle) Nothing like a Celtic drum or a Celtic man to make the earth move! Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!
Black Hearted Pearl Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Tis lovely lass. Will ye be bringing it to LORE? I plan on attending yer class. ~Black Hearted Pearl The optimist expects the wind. The pessimist complains about the wind. The realist adjusts the sails.
